SPRING CHICKEN WITH CARROTS AND PEAS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 whole chicken, cut up into 8 pieces
Handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 to 3 slices lemon
2 bay leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon EVOO
6 large shallots, sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups shelled fresh peas or defrosted frozen organic peas
1 large bunch spring carrots (3/4 to 1 pound), thinly sliced on an angle
3 tablespoons butter, plus more for the bread
Handful fresh dill, chopped
Baguette, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the chicken wings in a small saucepot and cover with water. Add the lemon and bay leaves, and sprinkle with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pat the remaining chicken pieces dry and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the EVOO in a deep skillet or wide Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, side-down, and cook until crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook, partially covered with a lid or foil, until cooked through, 8 to 10 more minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Lower the heat a bit, then add the shallots and sugar to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Strain the poaching liquid and add 1 cup of it to the skillet. Add the peas, carrots and herbs, then stir in the butter and season with a little more salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the peas and carrots are tender, 6 to 7 minutes. If you are not serving the stew immediately, stop after you add the carrots and peas (do not simmer them). Arrange the chicken on top and cover. Cool and store in the refrigerator. To serve, removed the chicken to a broiler pan and crisp up under the broiler. Simmer the stew until the peas and carrots are tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Return the chicken to the stew.
  • Ladle the stew into shallow bowls and top with the chicken. Serve with warm buttered baguette.
  • Cook's Note: You can use store-bought chicken stock instead of the poaching liquid if you want to skip that step.

5-Ingredient Chicken with Peas and Carrots image

This five-ingredient dinner is sure to please every member in the family! Don't throw those carrot tops away, use them to make a quick gremolata to serve as a light and bright accompaniment to your meal.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch carrots with tops (5 to 6 carrots)
1 cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 lemons, 1 zested (about 1 tablespoon) and both lemons juiced (about 5 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large high-sided skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken skin generously with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side down in the skillet. Season the underside with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed until the chicken easily releases from the pan and is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the carrot tops, leaving about 1 inch of green stem attached to the carrots. Set aside the carrot tops. Cut the carrots into 2- to 3-inch pieces and set aside.
  • Flip the chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and the carrots are softened and caramelized in places, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and add the frozen peas. Return the chicken to the oven, then turn off the oven. The residual heat from the oven and the hot skillet will thaw and heat the peas.
  • Put the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a 12- to 14-cup food processor and pulse to chop the garlic into very fine pieces, 3 to 4 pulses. Add the carrot tops and pulse until very finely chopped, 6 to 8 pulses. While pulsing, drizzle in the remaining 1/2 cup of oil until combined. Transfer to a small bowl.
  • Serve the chicken, peas and carrots with the carrot top gremolata.

One Pot Chicken and Rice with Peas and Carrots Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on, split (about 10-12 ounces each)
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped medium
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, minced

3 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (10-ounce) package peas and carrots
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot. Add the onion, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the fat in the pot and place over medium heat. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Stir in the rice and cook until the edges turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and the wine and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot, skin-side up. Cover, and reduce the heat to low, and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and registers 160 on an instant read thermometer, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Pat the peas and carrots dry, then stir into the rice. Stir in the cheddar and let melt for a minute. Season the rice mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges! Cooking tips: Make sure to take chicken out as soon as it reaches 160.. very important for the juiciness of the chicken!! I only needed to season with pepper at the end, salt was good. USE the lemon juice from the wedges.. DELISH!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables and tender chicken breasts will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of browning. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables liberally: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken with peas and carrots is best served hot and fresh.
